Is it not necessary that any class loader in use by a Layer must be
parallel-capable? Otherwise it seems like deadlocks could occur in
certain situations when there are references that are cyclic with

There aren't cycles in readability graph, at least not at construction
time. They might arise later due to reflective use of addReads but that
shouldn't change the class loader delegation graph. So I'm curious if
you are actually running into an issue or not? I can easily come up with
a mapping to loaders to force this but it would be unusual mapping.
BTW: I'm not opposed to exposing isParallelCapable, just curious if this
is something that you are actually running into or not.
